Now for something a little different

I mentioned in a post a few weeks ago that I was very pleased to have had 2 images selected for the RPS Annual Members Exhibition, which is currently on in Bristol. Myself and 2 guests were invited to the private view a week ago and although a little nervous, I traipsed along with my daughter and one of my granddaughters. Nervous because although I exhibited work along with peers on a degree course we all took part in a few years ago but I have never exhibited work on a national stage before and I wasn’t sure how my images would stand up against all the other, much more accomplished photographers there.

Well I needn’t have worried, my 2 cyanotypes certainly held their own. There was only one other cyanotype on display and I would say that mine was far superior, not that I am biased at all! I really liked the way they were curated. printed at A3 with white borders in simple black frames and alongside other works of complementary colours.

I am glad of one thing and that is that I had submitted my work for this exhibition before the camera club competition mentioned in my previous post. If it had been the other way around and I had listened to the ramblings of the camera club judge, I would never have submitted them.
